Zhulan saw that Scholar Deng was waiting for her to reply, and closed the report, "You've been working hard these days, the remaining people still need you to continue the investigation."
Scholar Deng's mind steadied, he feared that Lady Zhou, the Family Head's mother, would be unsatisfied with his ability to handle affairs. Everything he now had was by relying on Zhou Shuren, and as he came to know Zhou Shuren better, he understood more and more how much Zhou Shuren cared about Lady Zhou. He would never underestimate the power of influence from one's bedside companion!
After waiting for Scholar Deng to take his leave, Zhulan took the deed to the small mountain. She wanted to build a manor on the mountain and plant fruit trees all around it; surely it would be beautiful.
